Large numbers of offensive chalklings are drawn inside the cage and are released in waves by dismissing the front Line of Forbiddance, which is then redrawn after the chalklings have moved forward.{{book ref|Rithmatist|11}} At each of the two bindpoints have a line running through them to serve as an anchor.
